It wasn't that long ago that people here were calling Dorsey and Jackson Top 10 run defenders, and claimed they'd be even better with a solid NT in the middle.
KC's run defense ranking as of October 30, 2012?
23rd.
Yep. A real bright spot on this supposed Top 10 defense.
(which is currently ranked 29th overall)

I wouldn't call him a bright spot. He has a long way to go. But he's not anything close to a bust yet. And his upside is tremendous.
It's a good pick. I hate Pioli's history of ultra-conservative picks that are safe. This is the one pick where Pioli finally decided to go after an important position and gamble on a guy who has boom/bust written all over him.
It's a damn shame he has been too stubborn to do the same at other positions, especially QB.
